device of this nature which is attractive, in appearance, reliable, inexpensive to manufacture, durable, strong, and well adapted to the purpose for which it'is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description progresses, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and

in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. 7 In the drawing 1 p Figure 1 is an elevation of the device embodying the features of my invention, details thereof being shown in section, and

Figure 2 is a transverse section taken therethrough.

Referringto the drawing in detail it will be seen that the frame 1 is circular in the form of a ring and is provided on its exterior surface with a boss 2 from which projects a bolt 3 threaded for thereception of'a nut 4. This stud bolt 3 may be inserted through the radiator cap or the like in the usual manner and held in place by meansot the nut 4. On the interior surface of the ring frame 1 adjacent the boss 2there is provided a pintle 5 having a pomted end. At a diametrically opposite point from the pintle 5 there is disposed a journal screw 6 passing through the ring frame 1 and having its inner end recessed as at 7.. A shaft 8 is provided at one end with a'pintle 9 to be .received within recess 7 of the screw journal 6 while its other end is provided with a headlO having a recess 11 therein for'the reception of pin tle Thus this shaft 1s ournaled so "as to rotate freely within the frame 1. a 7

Two sockets 13 are disposed on the exflagstaff lmay be received therein.

A plurality of arms 15 radiate from the intermediate portion of. shaft 8 and. have mounted on their terminals cup shaped members 16. It will thus be seen that when the automobile moves forwardly the shaft 8 will be rotated by the airbeing caught into the cup shaped members 16. This shaft will also be rotated when the automobile is y standing still if there is sufficient wind or breeze blowing. The shafthmay be very easily disassembled merely by unscrewing the ournal screw 6; It is to be seen that the de'vlce I havefproduced is "not only ornamental but affords a very cheap, simple,

and attractive novelty for radiator, caps and the like. It is evident that changes in. 7 7o the details of construction, and in the com bination and arrangement of parts may be resorted .to without departing from. the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages;

Having thus described Ijclaim as new is An automobile radiator cap attachment comprising an annulus adapted to be attached to the radiator cap to extend in a vertical plane, a vertically extending pin carried by therinner face of the annulus, an adjustable'bearing threaded through the annulus at a point diametrically opposite the pin and provided with a recess upon its inner face, a rotor including a vertical shaft having a recess in its lower end which loosely receives the pin, the upper end of the shaft being loosely accommodated in the recess in the adjustable bearing. r In testimony whereof I allix my signature.
